At first sight, there may
not appear to be any connection between weight and wireless but the latest
scientific research strongly suggests ways in which these two apparently
unrelated factors can conspire against your best intentions. If you want to
understand why dieting and losing weight are so hard - read on…

Modern life now contains a
wide array of new chemical toxins that our bodies have to find a way to neutralise
if they are to remain healthy. From fire-retardants in electronics and
furniture to pesticide residues in foods, our remarkable immune systems have to
deal with them all. If they cannot get rid of these poisons, our bodies have to
sequester them (store them away for later) in hopes of processing them when the
body is better equipped. Be it chemical overload, an infection or even just
exhaustion, until a change of circumstance occurs within the body it must park
toxic substances somewhere and in most cases it deposits them in water (lymph)
and fat. The cells that make up your body demand that you maintain an internal
environment that suits them within very tight limits (homeostasis). If toxin
levels rise too high, one strategy the body has at its disposal is to simply
make the body bigger, thus reducing the toxin level per kilo. Retaining water
dilutes water-soluble toxins but lipotrophic toxins (non-water soluble) must be
stored in fat, connective tissue and muscles. The brain is 75% fat. Microwave
radiation makes its Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB) more porous, allowing toxins,
such as lead and mercury to lodge there more easily. Obesity is caused by water
retention, for which salt is implicated as well as chlorine in drinking, cooking
and showering water. Chorine cannot be a good thing as it is more reactive than
iodine, a shortage of which leads to thyroid problems.

One of the reasons digital
wireless telecommunications technology is so robust, reliable and popular is because all the
receiving equipment has to do is distinguish between transmitted zeros and
ones. The bigger the 'ones', the more reliable the communications. The higher
the frequency, the faster data can be transferred. Average signal power levels
(the main aspect people refer to) are biologically important but it is the peak
power levels (of fractions of a second duration) that the cells of the body are
tuned to receive. When the body's cells get hit by microwave pulses at the
sorts of very low levels they normally operate at and of the right sort of
frequency and duration, they start behaving abnormally and react as if they are
under attack by closing the ion channels in their semi-permeable membranes. The
cells react by producing measurable levels of heat-shock proteins whose job is
to refold damaged DNA. The mitochondrial powerhouses inside each cell keep
producing energy, manufacturing all the various chemicals, hormones and
proteins the body needs. Not only can these essential products not get out but
nutrients cannot get in. What's more, the waste by-products of cellular metabolism
cannot get out. The result - the cells' internal environment becomes polluted
and they are less able to do what they are supposed to do, one aspect of which
is to detoxify the numerous chemical pollutants we encounter every day!

Cells normally 'aspirate'
around 3 times a minute. That is to say they expel their metabolic products and
waste materials and take in nutrients and signalling hormones. They can withstand
a suspension of this process for only a limited time without suffering
disruption, damage, permanent loss of efficiency or death. If wireless exposure is chronic and cells
remain too long in reactive 'lock-down' mode with their membranes closed tight,
they die which releases further toxic waste products the body must deal with.

When a person tries to
lose weight, the toxins previously locked up in water, fat, muscle, organs and
connective tissue are released and have to be processed. Unless the
circumstances that lead to their sequestration have changed (e.g. during sleep
when the body attempts to detoxify itself from the ravages of the waking day)
their release only makes matters worse. The solution the body is apt to call
for is - more water and more food! Hunger is your body's message that it needs
more nutrients. If your diet does not provide what it needs your body may well accept
pizza, chips, beer, bread and sausages just to get something it can work with.
No wonder dieting is such an up-hill struggle, one which often results in even
more cravings. Though it may sound obvious, the body's need for nutrition will
only be satisfied in the long-term when it needs less food! 'Nutrition' and
'food' mean different things. Nutrition as referred to here includes all the
vitamins, minerals, water, amino acids carbohydrates, fats and calories the
body needs. Simply giving it supplements may not address the fundamental issue
of the cells and the body as a whole having difficulty detoxifying itself.
Central to cells' efficiency is their ability to aspirate properly and this is
compromised by exposure to electromagnetic radiation as outlined above.
Always-on EMR sources prevent the body's cells from operating properly and it
is the cells which detoxify the body that we are most concerned with here.

Digestion - if your gut
flora is incapable of extracting the nutrients your cells need from the foods
you are giving it, the body's response is to demand more food - and almost
anything will do no matter how bad we know it is for us. Not only does our diet
need to be balanced but our insides need to efficiently extract and process what
goes into our mouths if our bodies are to remain healthy and energised.

Intestinal Parasites - long
overlooked in sophisticated Britain are not, as they say, 'everyone's cup of
tea.' Undiagnosed however, they may be robbing your body of what it needs from
the supply available in a limited diet. Supplements will only make the
parasites stronger unless they are eliminated before supplementation commences.
Parasite by-products and die-off may also play a part in the toxic
rollercoaster that many dieters experience.

What Can You Do? Between
cells trying to get their needs met and parasites stealing nutrients and
producing toxic waste products, it should come as no surprise that what we eat
is highly influenced by their needs. Both our cells and the parasites they
compete with release chemicals (hormones) that drive our behaviour. So instead
of beating yourself up for that second slice of pizza or chocolate cookie,
perhaps you would be more in control if you examined your external and internal
environments.

Co-Factors:

Wheat - modern wheat is
markedly different genetically from the wheat eaten by our forebears. You might
consider a wheat-free diet to combat inflammation but as many foods now contain
it, it may take some diligence and label reading to successfully eliminate it
from your lifestyle.

Milk - homogenised milk
makes the butterfat molecules small enough to transit the gut before they get
digested. What is often perceived as lactose intolerance may simply be the body’s
immune response to undigested fat globules that make it into the lymph and blood.

Conclusions - everyone's
situation, inclination and motivation are likely to be different but if you
struggle with maintaining a comfortable weight, perhaps these aspects of your
'environment' may benefit from your attention and further consideration:

I often get callers to the Electric Forester EMR Advice Line (01591 610167) who say desperate things like “How can I convince my husband* the wireless devices in our home are making my life a misery?” It’s a variation on the theme “How can I get my partner to stop polluting my living space with his cigarette smoke?” and the fundamental issue is just the same.New information is the place to start. When people gain new knowledge they did not have before, it opens up the opportunity for them to change their attitude without losing face. Change the environment and it becomes easier to change behaviour.

There is masses of information now available on-line about the dangers of man-made electromagnetic radiation but some of it is heavily spun by vested interests and you may have to read between the lines to discern the truth. For every argument there is a counter-argument. Where to start? What is beyond dispute is your first-hand experience of what is going on inside your own body. But is man-made EMR the cause? Investigation and experimentation may provide the answer. Sometimes this is as simple as feeling better after a few days away from home.

Some good places to start understanding other people’s challenges are:

A comprehensive EMR survey may provide insights into EMR exposure and a post-survey consultation and custom-written property-specific report may be sufficient to convince your partner of the need for, and virtue of, a Precautionary Approach to man-made EMR in line with Government recommendations.

If new information, professional advice and protection measures do not achieve the desired results, you could brush up on your assertiveness skills and learn the art of effective negotiation. Your health and well-being, and that of your children and pets if you have any, are at stake. You could of course try appealing to your partner’s better nature and self-interests if you’ve not tried that tack before. You may even consider resorting to bribery or blackmail but that may not get you what you ultimately want, and this is the key - Respect. It seems people in general, and men in particular, cannot imagine any harm coming from their favourite toys and sometimes neighbours too can feel threatened and be unwilling to understand or be willing to accommodate other’s needs. You may find the word ‘respect’ unusual in a blog post about EHS but it is central to getting an outcome that will endure. Respect is one of life’s double-edged-swords - if you demand it you have to be willing to give it. If none of the above is getting you anywhere, you might consider taking unilateral action - after all, it’s your home too. Serious situations justify firm and resolute action.

1. Buy a new corded speakerphone and throw the DECT Cordless away (don’t inflict its toxic always-on emissions on anyone else by giving it away or selling it). Have a wired telephone extension socket installed first if necessary.

2. If your neighbours’ cordless phones are adding to your EMR burden, consider paying for an extension-socket to be installed in their home and buy them a corded phone (provided they agree to ditch the DECT). If their DECT base station includes and answer phone, they may be able to get Callminder® or a similar answering service for free.

4. Turn off routers when not in use and especially at night. Use a time switch if necessary connected to a power strip so that all computer related devices go off at night. You might also buy a time clock and power strip for your neighbours' computer setup.

5. If you’re still not getting anywhere, move out, albeit temporarily. Actions speak louder than words. Go and stay with a friend. A single night away may be all it takes to make your point and for your partner to come to their senses. (They may not appreciate what they’ve got till it’s gone). You may be able to achieve leverage by making your return conditional but you don’t want to end up homeless. If your health and well-being are important to you (and hopefully also to your partner) then resolute action is called for.

If you are successful in significantly reducing your EMR exposure, you may be pleasantly surprised to find that both you and your partner’s lives become easier as sleep and relationships improve.

Note: Three times more women are affected by ES/EHS than men. It is perhaps unsurprising that many men have difficulty appreciating the scope and impact of environmental intolerance to man-made EMR on their partner’s lives. The number of children adversely affected is presently unknown. They have no effective voice or control over their environment, dependant as they are on the knowledge, wisdom and lifestyle choices of their parents or guardians.

The excitement of Christmas, with its prospect of wonderful
new electronic gadgets, holds very real fears for those already struggling to
cope with current levels of Electrosmog
(Wireless / Electromagnetic Radiation).

Family members and neighbours may delight in their new
wireless devices but their joy may be offset by those around them who are
already struggling to cope with today’s elevated levels of EMR millions of
times higher than have ever been.

Over the festive season each year wireless levels ramp up
another notch in an ever increasing trend. A whole new wave of mobile / wireless
devices is unleashed upon the world at Christmastime and eagerly awaited by an
unsuspecting and poorly informed public.

A cordless phone for Grandma, a mobile phone for little
Wayne, a tablet computer for Claire, an xBox, Wii or DS for Chet, a new
wireless laptop for mum, a new smart phone for dad and wireless printer, wireless
surround-sound and a giant screen smart-TV for the whole family to share…

As each home becomes ever more a wireless hot-spot, what of the
people inside or nearby who cannot tolerate the invisible electro-pollution
pumped out?

The way things stand, it is just too bad. Anyone destroyed by
EMR has no legal recourse and nowhere to go. So in this season of ‘Goodwill to
all men’ ask yourself whether your freedom to enjoy your new wireless toy comes
at someone else’s expense?

In case you are amongst the band of EMR sceptics,
the answer is, it almost certainly does but you are unlikely to notice. All the
land has been invaded and the EMF Refugees are in retreat. They have been forced
to leave their lives and homes, jobs and families behind and salvage whatever
they can as their world turns toxic.

During the holiday season you may be blasted by more wireless devices than you can even dream of.Returning to work, school or college in the New Year, some people will
be forced to live with a new or uprated wireless system, quietly installed
during the shutdown. If this applies to you and proves too much for your body
to take, to whom would you turn? Perhaps
it is not ‘wireless’ per se but the smart-meters which are being rolled out
everywhere that will cause your tolerance to be exceeded.

It all adds up, it is all cumulative exposure. Should you be concerned? Be careful what you wish for this Christmas. It might have a sting in its tail. Perhaps you’ll get away with it. Perhaps you
won’t.

When computers and peripherals are switched on, installed wireless network
adaptors typically start searching for suitable signals within 60 seconds.
They tend to search for networks anytime power is supplied to
them, even if they have been disabled in Software.

To temporarily disable wireless capability via software,
computers may make use of a Function (Fn) key, usually blue, and the F2
Function button. Multiple presses of F2 (or whichever key has the wireless icon
on it) while pressing the Function (Fn) key will typically step through the
wireless options: Wireless LAN, WLAN & Bluetooth, Bluetooth, All Wireless
Off.

Turning All Wireless Off should be done routinely when
wireless is not required to reduce exposure of those nearby to microwave (RF) electrosmog
and to save battery life. To minimise exposure further, computers should have
their wireless adaptor(s) permanently removed or have their wireless adapters also
disabled in ‘Hardware’. The latter typically involves disabling the device
driver via Control Panel.

Disabling Wireless in Hardware:

(Windows XP. Similar in Windows 7)

Left Click Start

Control Panel

System

Hardware

Device Manager

Network adaptors - select wireless adaptor (802.11b/g/n Bluetooth)

Right Click Disable

Left Click to Accept

BT Home Hubs (V2.0) and others that incorporate a Cordless (DECT)
Phone Base Station may not allow the cordless transmitter to be turned off. Upon
representation, BT may be willing to substitute a v3.0 which does support this
feature if, for example a v2.0 ‘no longer works’ or if the user states that
they cannot tolerate it due to ‘Electro-Sensitivity’. BT FON routers as
supplied now default to opt-in so straight out of the box your home will become
a wireless hot-spot.

To minimise wireless exposure to everyone in the vicinity (typically a 300 metre radius) LAN
10/100 network cables should be used instead. Local Area Network (LAN) cables enable Internet connections to be shared between computers
and other LAN enabled devices using simple
inexpensive plugged-in Ethernet Mini-Hubs or Switches. They are typically a faster and more secure way of interconnecting computers and accessing the Internet.

Similarly, peripherals such as printers may also be
wirelessly enabled and should be hard wired (via a USB port) and their wireless
capabilities disabled. Check Operating Manuals for how that can be achieved as
many now default to wireless or are programmed to require wireless to be
enabled to access some features and upgrades.

High-speed Internet (Broadband) is now routinely provided in the UK over telephone
wires to most areas. As a result, adjoining wires in the cable and on telegraph
poles pick up the signal by induction or capacitative coupling and carry it to all telephones in the
neighborhood. Consequently, all domestic phone sockets in the UK should now be fitted with an
Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Filter to remove these extraneous
signals, whether or not broadband service is provided to the property in
question.

ADSL filters are not much bigger than a matchbox and are simply plugged
in between the telephone and the phone socket but not all ADSL filters are suitable
for all phones and the two basic types provide differing levels of protection.Though they look almost
identical, the two type are easily confused.

ADSL Filter Types:

Two-Wire: These
provide the best filtering protection but some phones will not ring, even
though they will otherwise operate normally.

Three-Wire:
These provide less protection because the third (ring) wire usually passes straight
through, unfiltered. This type will however ring all types of phones provided all 3 wires have been properly connected in the wall outlet.

How To Tell:

It is not always easy to establish the type by looking. Catalogues and product descriptions usually do not say. An easy way to tell is if only 2 of the little gold contacts are visible in the BT style plug. Some filters are fitted with plugs which have 4 contacts present, though by sight it is not easy to tell whether 2 or 3 of them are connected.

Another way to tell is if a phone will not ring with an ADSL filter plugged in, then the chances are that the filter is the more effective 2-wire type. Ask your supplier which type they have but many customer service staff are ignorant of this somewhat fine distinction.

More expensive filters may also have a ferrite choke fitted around the wire
to the socket (to eliminate higher frequencies) but in many situations, additional benefits may be inconsequential.

Telephones:

To further reduce electrosmog reaching the head, telephones should be of
a type which do not have electronics in the handset (the bit normally held to
the head). 'Gondola' type phones, with push buttons or displays in their handsets are therefore to be avoided. Likewise, hearing-aid compatible handsets which
use induction to connect to the hearing aid. Use of
a speakerphone facility eliminates the need to hold the handset to the head.

Speakerphones:

Most speakerphones require a mains transformer which adds to
electro-pollution in the vicinity. Some speakerphones are ‘line driven’. That
is, they use power provided by the telephone exchange and are thus not favoured
by phone companies. Phone catalogues often do not indicate whether models are
line-driven, battery powered or mains (transformer) powered, making line-driven
speakerphones difficult to obtain.

End Note:

Whilst price is not always an adequate reflector of quality, cheap (<£10) or Free ADSL filters may not be very effective at attenuating the EMR accompanying the ADSL signal that can reach the handset. The signals may well be inaudible.

For the EHS, and all who wish to minimise their EMR exposure, handsfree phones with ADSL filters are helpful.

How come more people are not getting sick?

It seems an obvious question but with the use of wireless technologies increasing every day, did something happen to halt the rise in the numbers of people whose lives are being torn asunder by Electromagnetic HyperSensitivty? EHS

Are sufferers of intollerance to the most prevalent pollutant on the planet (Electro-Magnetic Radiation) at today's levels simply not discovering that EMR could be the invisible mediator of the medical condition(s) from which they are suffering?

Are people being lead away from this ubiquitous environmental toxin (a.k.a. Electro-smog) as a major factor in Diseases of Civilization in favour of standard diagnoses and pharmaceutical derived relief?

Could EHS even be merely delusional eventually to disappear because sufferers tire of not getting the attention they think they deserve? The persistence of the condition despite many seemingly credible official denials and the very real lengths ordinary people will go to, to escape the source(s) of their torment, suggest otherwise.

The most commonly subscribed to delusion driven by a wide range of powerful vested interests is that "non-thermal, non-ionising electromagnetic radiation, at presently permitted levels, is totally harmless to everyone, forever."

It is clearly not harmless to those who suffer from EHS and moreover, it is probably, as with other forms of radiation, cumulative and potentially toxic to everyone at sufficiently high a dose if endured over a lifetime.Put a frog in hot water, so the story goes, and it will jump out. Put a frog in cold water and warm it slowly and eventually the frog will be boiled. Boiling Frog Syndrome

This quote
from Stephen Covey”There
are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.”

We are
in a time of unprecedented change, every day we are at the cutting edge of
future. The choices we make, as we rush helter-skelter towards the new dawn,
are driven by our experience of a world that has passed.

It is a
guiding principle from the past that holding a mobile/ cell-phone (microwave transmitter) to your
head for hours each day is unlikely to be doing your brain any good.

The
most exhilarating and final ride of your life may be on the silently unfolding
public health tsunami. Life is a journey. Some
people will be getting off at the next stop.

So is there a vast cloud of suffering going on 'below most people's radar'? Are we in 'the calm before the storm' and are some of the passengers and crew of 'Spaceship Earth' already floundering in the water?

Once alerted to the threats to health, wellbeing and
prospects, it is easy to get into a tail-spin over electrosmog (electro-smog) and the exposure levels to which we are all now subjected.
First there is fear of the invisible and the unknown, confusion and ignorance being added to by the differing opinions and spin on the Internet and what little coverage there
is in the media. Then, when it all become too much, paralysis, denial or no action
at all may be the result. It can all be too overwhelming.

Power levels are only one metric. They do not take into effect the nature of digital signals and the information carried on their pulsed modulations, any and all of which may be biologically hazardous. Neither do that take account of the compounding effects of multiple EMR sources and chemicals. The recommendations of the Bioinitiative Reportare good but interpreting over 600 pages when deciding whether to use the electric cooker (hob/range) or a microwave oven is beyond most people when it comes to feeding the family. (See the Bioinitiative Report page 587 for recommendations).

But rather like knowing how many million/billion/trillion bacteria exist in a cubic metre of air, knowing precise electrosmog levels is not entirely necessary if one is determined to keep exposure As Low As Reasonably Achievable - ALARA. Later, when peoples tolerance has been all used up and they are forced
to flee or turn and face ‘The Electrosmog Dragons’ in their midst, thoughts are liable to spin out of control, whether-or-not-this-is-serious-and-if-so-how-to-best-deal-with-a-new-and-invisible-threat-that-seems-to-be-everywhere….Aghhhhhhh !

Electrosmog is indeed now everywhere. At presently permitted levels it is toxic for some people and animals, if not everyone, and yes, it can
kill you in time one way or another but that is insufficient reason to panic. Mould (mold),
bacteria, viruses, yeasts, mildew, germs and pathogens of every shape, size and
description abound on the earth and in the air and water, yet we survive. We have evolved and adapted. We routinely adopt
good practices and habits (hygiene) that serve to safeguard us from these
ubiquitous invisible threats to our health and our survival.

It’s the same with the Electrosmog Dragons. We can safely
assume that levels of electromagnetic radiation are now higher than some people can tolerate everywhere we
go (unless it is to a wilderness and even there, satellites and planes shoot the
earth with radar). Especially where people congregate, wireless infrastructure is
now in place; mobile/cellular phone signals,
wi-fi, WiMax, broadcast DTV and radio - the list is virtually endless and grows
every day.

There is not much you can do about avoiding the non-elective
wireless stock control system in your favourite supermarket or the
anti-collision radar from the cars around you on your journey there, and reducing
one’s own elective exposure may not prove sufficient for some, but reducing lifetime exposure cannot
hurt.

Wireless is now everywhere and your exposure to it from
devices you choose is all that is in your power to control. By becoming
familiar with sources you yourself have allowed into your living and working environment;
smart-meters, HAN enabled appliances,
wireless boiler/thermostat, cordless phone, wireless router and computer,
wireless eReader, wireless games console, wireless surround-sound, video/audio
repeater and on and on, you will at least be able to make choices.

Because everyone’s lifetime exposure to
non-ionising radiation is rising at an unprecedented rate and in forms
previously unknown in the history of every living creature on this, our one and
only habitable planet.

And that’s not all. The effects of ionising radiation (Nuclear
/ X-Ray / Cosmic) are very similar and since WWII, Chernobyl
and Fukushima, global levels continue
to rise uncontrollably. Add the cyclic increase in solar activity we are
experiencing today and you can perhaps see why limiting exposure when and where you can
might be something to seriously consider. Radiation exposure is cumulative. That means the damage over
a lifetime can exceed the body’s ability to repair itself. And we all know
where that leads.

Make good choices now, while you can still make a difference
in your life and that of those you care about. The truth will out and the unwilling
EHS - ElectroHyperSensitive pioneers are reluctantly leading the way, because they no
longer have the choices you do.
